Revitalize the Proofing Process

Ashore makes PDF proofing online a fast and stress-free process for you and your approvers. As much as can be possible, we take the proofing process out of email and organize all materials – proofs, versions, feedback and approvals – in a central, cloud-based location for your team.

You’ll no longer need to track down approvers and send numerous follow-up emails. With Ashore, your online proofing process is automated! To begin, you simply upload your PDF (Ashore supports videos, images, HTML and more, as well), and then choose your workflow. In Ashore, workflows can be created and saved to use over and over again. A workflow contains all the approvers a proof will need to go through to get final approval. Ashore automatically delivers your proof to the next approver in the sequence with no input from you. Automatic reminders can be set to your preference to keep things moving along. The system will notify you of status changes along the way. To proof, each approver clicks on the link in the email Ashore sends them, and they can immediately get started – no login or account required. Annotation and markup tools such as arrows and boxes help approvers better articulate what they’re trying to say. All comments are tied to a specific point on the proof, keeping all feedback in context. When you know exactly what they want, you’ll get your projects done much faster with less revisions! As part of our fleet of Ashore users, we’ve given you a lot of leeway to customize the process to your specifications. You can give your approvers permission for things including downloading the proof or viewing other approver comments.

You can also add non-approvers from your team who need to stay updated on the approval status of proofs. Even when you’re sending a proof, you have several options. You can send to one or more people at once for a more collaborative experience, and you don’t even have to send a proof as yourself. With the ability to modify the sender, you can send proofs on behalf of other users, shoring up another loophole in your workflows. The customization doesn’t end there. With the ability to white-label our platform, your approvers will think they’re proofing on your own proprietary software. Custom email signatures and email templates give you flexibility in deciding what your approvers see when they open emails sent from Ashore. Email templates can even be saved and quickly reused in the future.
